Steve Nash Youth Basketball
In partnership with the Steve Nash Foundation and Canada Basketball, Ontario Basketball and Recreation PLUS are proud to introduce Steve Nash Youth Basketball (SNYB).
Steve Nash Youth Basketball is a national youth basketball program designed to develop fundamental skills, sportsmanship and a love for the game of basketball. This grassroots initiative supports and empowers community based recreational groups and facilities, schools and other institutions across Canada in an effort to positively influence youth through the great game of basketball.
The model for Steve Nash Youth Basketball was established after extensive research of existing community basketball programs from across North America and follows the guidelines of Sport Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD). The program is flexible in nature to allow all local organizers to adapt the program and implement it in their community while following the principles and philosophies of the program.
Steve Nash Youth Basketball provides the following:
